Vectrex Mini interview - David Oghia talks up the nostalgic vector powerhouse

Having been wowed by the news of the Vectrex Mini at Gamescom , I rushed off some questions to VectrexOn's main man  David Oghia . After a post-event, well earned, break, he's kindly given us a lot of detail about the project and some new images of the unit to share.  His story mirrors mine somewhat, Vectrex represents a glowing, unaffordable, obelisk of gaming power from our youth!

Congrats to everyone who entered the KyuHen Vita homebrew contest

The deadline for entries for the KyuHen Vita homebrew contest has passed.

You can download games on a jailbroken Vita across the various categories from ports to whole new titles via the Vita Homebrew browser or other methods. Go to the website for more details and if you want to donate to the prize pot as judging starts.
